  2. Pitometer log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitometer_log

    This unit uses a mercury-based manometer to measure the difference in static and dynamic water pressure. Pitometer logs (also known as pit logs) are devices used to measure a ship's speed relative to the water. They are used on both surface ships and submarines. Data from the pitometer log is usually fed directly into the ship's navigation system.

  3. Measuring rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_rod

    A measuring rod is a tool used to physically measure lengths and survey areas of various sizes. Most measuring rods are round or square sectioned; however, they can also be flat boards. Some have markings at regular intervals. It is likely that the measuring rod was used before the line, chain or steel tapes used in modern measurement.

  4. Electromagnetic log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_Log

    Electromagnetic log. An Electromagnetic Log, sometimes called an "EM log", is an electronic sensor which measures the speed of a vessel through sea water. Like many other technologies, its name derives from the traditional chip log. It makes use of Faraday's law of induction by measuring the EMF induced in water moving through a magnetic field ...

  5. Stadiametric rangefinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

    Stadiametric rangefinding, or the stadia method, is a technique of measuring distances with a telescopic instrument. The term stadia comes from a Greek unit of length Stadion (equal to 600 Greek feet, pous) which was the typical length of a sports stadium of the time. Stadiametric rangefinding is used for surveying and in the telescopic sights ...

  6. Rotarod performance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotarod_performance_test

    A mouse rotarod apparatus. The rotarod performance test is a performance test based on a rotating rod with forced motor activity being applied, usually by a rodent. The test measures parameters such as riding time (seconds) or endurance. Some of the functions of the test include evaluating balance, grip strength and motor coordination of the ...

  7. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn ), or one km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s. It depends strongly on temperature as well as the medium through which a ...

  8. Metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre

    The metre (or meter in US spelling; symbol: m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Since 2019, the metre has been defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1 299 792 458 of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium.

  9. Speedometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer

    A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles , they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards. [1]
